If its the same royal mix I just googled it should have enough feed for the next 2 weeks then some feeding will be needed. Cheers,

Thanks to all of you ! I transplanted them a week ago with 20% Plagron Light Mix and 80% Royal Mix, should I give them more right away ? I generally use BioBizz line up and would have waited a couple weeks after transplant to provide them nutrients.

High, to get rid of the fungus gnats you put 1 inch of sand on top of the soil. I did this many times and the gnats can not enter the soil anymore. The larvea can be killed with a neem oil solution. It is very cheap and water 3 times during 1 week with 3% neem oil inside the solution and the larvea will be death aswell. But the problem with the leaves are not caused by gnats but because of nutrient deficiency. When growing weed it is important to give water with the right pH and the right type and amount with nutrients. You can purchase a brand like BioBizz for the right NPK ratio during the entire grow by just following their nutrient schedule available on their website. Happy Holidays!

I do see gnats on the yellow sticky traps, but thats not the type of damage you see them cause, they are almost never populated enough to harm a plant and big plants can easily out grow an active infestation. I think the issues your having are with its nutrient line up. Like Grannie said it needs feed. And depending what you feed the PH may need adjusting. FYI: We will not be notified of any reply or tag [@] in the questions part of the website, if you need to reach out with other information use your DM "direct mailbox" in the bottom right hand corner of the page. it looks like a little paper airplane icon. Best Of Luck!

You may have a few fungus gnats but it's not all that bad - and they certainly aren't causing the discoloration on the leaves... You can kill fungus gnats with Mosquito Bits - you just follow the directions and use the water for your plant and the fungus gnats will be history (with this minor infestation, one application will suffice). No, this lady is desperate for some good NPK nutes right about now and I don't see that you're giving her anything. Get her going on some good grow nutes plus a little bit of calmag and she should turn a better shade of green AND take care of the phosphorus deficiency it looks like she has... And btw, fungus gnats like to live in very damp soil so this is telling me you're overwatering her.... weed needs a definite wet/dry cycle in order to grow properly - make sure your soil is completely dry before giving her the next in your water/nute/water/nute routine.... But for now, get her some food! Good luck!
